Versandnformation
An early and highly collectable Kyiv II rangefinder camera from 1947, representing the very beginning of production at the Arsenal factory in Kyiv. Introduced immediately after the transfer of Carl Zeiss Jena machinery and personnel to the Soviet Union, the Kiev II was effectively a continuation of the pre-war Contax II, assembled using original parts, tooling, and technical documentation.
The earliest 1947 examples are of particular historical importance, produced in very limited numbers and often incorporating a mixture of original German components and early Soviet-made parts, reflecting this unique transitional period.
The present camera is in fine condition and comes with a matching 1947 ZK 2/5cm lens, no. 000255.
